I bet you lot never thought you'd encounter such an entry on this blog. Don't worry, neither did I.
But since summertime is almost upon us, it agency the inevitable sunscreen questions maintain piling upwards inward my mailbox. And it seems that to nearly all Western fans of Asian beauty products, "sunscreen" is synonymous amongst "Biore".
Yeah... Even though Ratzilla regularly writes virtually Biore; fifty-fifty though everybody, their woman bring upwards in addition to her pet Chihuahua receive got already reviewed all things Biore a few 1000000 times; manifestly when it comes to Biore sunscreens, plenty is never enough.
So it must hold upwards the sign of times in addition to sure as shooting the Apocalypse is near, because a dedicated Biore entry is appearing on this blog.
Why I am doing this? Because YOU asked for it. And because I was curious if I withal felt virtually Biore the same way every bit always.
You see, Biore is an OK work of products. The same way that McDonald's is an OK alternative of fast nutrient if you lot are hungry in addition to there's null else available inward the nearest vicinity. Once inward a piece it's perfectly acceptable. It's cheap, it's literally everywhere, in addition to it gets the chore done.
Biore is just the same. It's cheap, works life inward practically every store, fifty-fifty inward the deepest countryside inward the middle of Hokkaido nowhere, in addition to it offers venture UV protection. What to a greater extent than could you lot want?
Personally, I'd similar a freshly-made salad amongst locally grown organic vegetables, fresh mozzarella cheese in addition to homemade basil vinaigrette dressing. I'm non going to observe it at McDonald's.
It's the same for my sunscreen. I'd similar something that is a chip to a greater extent than skin-friendly than the bare-bones Biore lineup.
But who knows, Biore mightiness withal surprise me. You never know until you lot endeavor it.
Today's commencement contestant is Biore UV Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++, or actually, Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ (white bottle).
This is confusing, because it alone says "Biore UV Face Milk" on the forepart of the 2017 version bottle inward English. However, on the dorsum of the bottle, the total Japanese get upwards withal has the give-and-take "perfect" inward at that spot written inward katakana. Actually, it says "Biore Sara Sara UV Perfect Face Milk t" on there.
So, what's the official name? What the hell? I guess, the Japanese one.
Why practise Japanese companies practise that? To confuse the enemy, I suppose.
As most Japanese sunscreens, Biore UV (Perfect) Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ comes inward a tiny bottle. There's simply xxx ml of white liquid inside, along amongst a mixing ball. The odour is real faint, a vaguely sunscreeny chemic alcoholy type of thing. It's non real offensive at all. Compared to some other sunscreens out there, this odour is a non-issue fifty-fifty for sensitive noses similar mine.
On the dorsum of the bundle the explanations beak virtually using a "suitable amount". The blurb suggests a driblet of 2 cm inward diameter to hold upwards applied picayune past times picayune to the skin.
I don't know virtually you, but I ever utilization more. I approximate my confront is larger than a typical Japanese face. I observe that for me a driblet of 2 cm volition hold upwards simply plenty for both cheeks in addition to the nose. I demand some other driblet of virtually 1 cm for my forehead. What tin privy I say? I receive got a huge face, it seems.
According to the descriptions on the package, Biore UV (Perfect) Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ tin privy hold upwards used for incidental daily exposure, such every bit during daily commute, or during leisure activities, in addition to it also doubles upwards every bit a makeup base.
It claims to hold upwards super waterproof amongst resistance to water, travail in addition to sebum. Waterproofness tests were conducted for eighty minutes in addition to the sunscreen withal provided UV protection. How they tested it? I don't know, don't inquire me. But every bit amongst all waterproof claims, it's improve to err on the side of caution.
Ratzilla, bless her heart, has the ingredients on her site - Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ ingredients are here. Click on the link to read the listing for the 2015 formulation, which is what the 2017 version is. The ingredients are the same, alone the packaging is different.

Hmmm... Here is where it gets interesting. You see, I've been testing Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ (white bottle) on 1 one-half of my face, amongst Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++ (blue bottle) on the other half.
Both of them felt pretty much the same - horribly drying, silky smooth, powdery to the touch. Perfect for 100% humidity in addition to moisture in addition to sweaty days. Or for oily skins. For oily skins amongst no pare problems.
Both aggravated my rosacea to the signal that my confront ended upwards looking similar a cherry balloon. In addition, Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++ (blue bottle) broke me out similar at that spot was no tomorrow. There were no breakouts on the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA++++ (white bottle) side. Just very, real tired, cherry in addition to dry out skin.
They both worked beautifully every bit makeup bases. I know some people complain that these milks pill in addition to curlicue when worn nether makeup, but it didn't move on inward my case.
There was no white cast at all.
Both sunscreens were slowly to withdraw using a cleansing petroleum followed past times a normal confront wash.
And since we've already started talking virtually Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++, nosotros mightiness every bit good continue.
I promise this abomination volition laissez passer notice inward hell, because that's where it belongs.
Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++ bottle (which is blue) is bigger past times 10 ml, which agency you lot larn forty ml of product.
Again, nosotros receive got the familiar number amongst the name. On the bottle it says "Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++" inward English, but inward Japanese on the dorsum of the bundle in addition to bottle it's written every bit "Biore Sara Sara UV Perfect Milk t". Whatever. I'm hence over these get upwards differences.
Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ PA++++ tin privy hold upwards used both on the confront in addition to torso in addition to according to the descriptions (look at the iii pictures on the dorsum of the bundle if you lot can't read Japanese), it's suitable for outdoor use.

Skinfeel is lovely. There's no white cast, it's real lightweight in addition to invisible. It's also horribly drying in addition to it broke me out similar I was dorsum inward my teens.
It aggravated my rosacea in addition to made my confront red, red, red.
There is a real slight fragrance of something fresh in addition to flowery trying to enshroud a heavier odour of something chemic in addition to alcoholic. However, fifty-fifty a sensitive olfactory organ similar mine was fine amongst it.
As you lot tin privy encounter inward the finally swatch photo, this sunscreen took the longest to absorb of all the iii Biore milks. It withal wasn't completely absorbed when I took that photo. It's similar it was trying to tell me that nosotros would non larn along.
Meh... I should receive got gotten a frappuccino instead of this bluish bottle crap.
And finally, our finally Biore contestant today - Biore UV Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++, or every bit it is also known - Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++.
Yo, it's pink. I similar pink. We're off to a skilful start already.
Again, the English linguistic communication get upwards on the bottle "Biore UV Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++" is different from the Japanese get upwards inward katakana written on the dorsum of the bundle - "Biore Sara Sara UV Perfect Bright Milk". Again, whatever.
We're dorsum to xxx ml here.
As you lot tin privy encounter from the pictures on the package, Biore UV Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++ is a sunscreen for daily use.
It's original role is to brighten the pare note every bit a makeup base. In that abide by it works simply similar fancy makeup bases that are 4 or 5 times every bit expensive.
Seriously, if it was correct for my pare type, it would hold upwards my ideal budget-friendly sunscreen-makeup base of operations combo.
Biore UV Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++ feels silky smoothen in addition to super lite on the skin. Despite "brightening" claims, at that spot is no typical white cast. Instead, the pare simply looks brighter amongst smaller pores in addition to smoother texture.
In addition, nosotros receive got the familiar claims of it beingness super waterproof, resistant to travail in addition to sebum.
Even though the liquid is pearlescent pinkish inward color, the goal is genuinely quite matte. See what it did?It blurred my pare in addition to made it perfectly smooth. I used quite a lot for this swatch to demo the finally effect.
When I used Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++ on my face, it did non pause me out. It worked wonderfully every bit a makeup base. Seriously, if it was correct for my pare type, I'd utilization it daily. Of the iii milks, this 1 seemed the gentlest on my skin. It mightiness receive got been simply an optical illusion, but the "Biore rosacea redness" wasn't every bit harsh every bit amongst the other ii milks.
The odour was minimally chemical, same every bit amongst the white bottle milk.
